Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is an effective treatment for anxiety, depression and other common mental health issues.
Typed CBT is proven to be as effective as face-to-face CBT at helping you feel better and live the life you want to lead.
Like face-to-face therapy, our sessions are one-to-one and confidential, plus all of the following benefits:
Appointments are available 7 days a week, 6am - 11pm, and can be scheduled to suit you.
Do your sessions anywhere — all you need is a device that connects to the internet.
No need to travel, so less hassle and less wasted time.
Text with your therapist via a secure online platform. As the sessions are typed, no one will overhear your conversation.
Learn practical skills that you can use in real life. Maintain your progress by accessing past sessions and activities in your account even after you've finished therapy.
We fit sessions around your commitments.
Access in your own time.
You can message with your therapist in-between sessions for support with tasks.
Here's how typed therapy with ieso compares with other forms of mental health support.
We’re using science and technology to continually learn what makes therapy effective. We then share this knowledge with our therapists to enable them to be the best they can be.
In short, as you get better, so do we.

Our team is on hand to make your experience as smooth as possible.
To work with ieso, a therapist has to not only be fully qualified, but also be accredited and complete an assessment to demonstrate they have the specific skills to deliver typed CBT online.

I was a bit apprehensive before I started. I never had therapy before, and I wasn't sure that a digital platform would allow me to address all the issues. At the end of my first session, my opinion changed completely. It was an overall fantastic experience and it helped me a lot.
I looked forward to speaking to my therapist every week who helped me talk through the issues I was having. She made me realise that I was actually quite normal for feeling the way I felt. Something which I hadn’t heard in a long time. I’m so grateful for this service and the help I received.
I finally had to admit that I needed someone to help me break the cycle of worrying about things that might or might not happen... The therapist was amazing - very patient and understanding. During the sessions I was provided with tools and strategies that have decreased my anxiety and stopped me worrying about endless "what if" scenarios.
Really great service, couldn't recommend it enough. My therapist listened to everything I had to say and tailored the experience to be exactly what I needed. The online portal was great for keeping the conversations present but also having graphs and charts to track progress.
CBT with ieso exceeded my expectations. I went from being depressed and unable to manage everyday stuff to feeling in control, rather than events and my thoughts and emotions controlling me. Truly transformative.
ieso have helped me in a really positive way. It’s taught me processes to manage my anxiety and depression, and by practising these in my own home I have managed to adapt them when accessing the community or attending social events.
It’s natural to have an interest in your treatment. People often want to know what we do, how it works and whether it will work for them. Here’s our take on some of the questions we often come across.
Once you have activated your account, a therapist will be in touch to schedule the first appointment. Your first session is usually a maximum of 10 working days from sign-up (though in very busy periods it can take a little longer).
As we’re an online therapy service, the communication you have with your therapist is through written messages on our therapy website.
They’ll send you a message through the therapy website to set up the first appointment rather than calling you. Don’t worry, whenever your therapist messages you or sets up an appointment, you’ll receive a notification email.
Using the email, login to the platform to view the message or appointment. And, if you’re not receiving notifications, check your spam folder.
ieso doesn’t provide a pre-set number of sessions. We offer you the right number of sessions needed for your treatment. Practicing the CBT techniques, you will learn between therapy sessions will help you feel the benefit more quickly. But, as a rough guide, we can typically address mental health issues like anxiety and depression in 4-8 sessions.
Your clinician will help you prepare for ending therapy so that you feel confident to continue developing your CBT skills independently. Towards the end of therapy, you may be asked to lead the sessions more to help build your confidence. During your final session, you will create a plan that works for you and that will maintain your progress and enable you to cope with any setbacks.
We totally understand that when you just want some help, completing questionnaires can be frustrating. We wish there was another effective way. Unfortunately, we can’t safely allocate you a clinician and start your treatment until all the assigned questionnaires are complete.
The questionnaires help your clinician understand you and your current state of mind. And they’ll help you to check your progress and flag up any problems. The NHS also requires everyone to complete these questionnaires. This is why, throughout your therapy, you'll be asked to complete the questionnaires before each session.
Our service is free for lots of NHS patients.
It only takes a minute or two to check if you are eligible for treatment.
